Discover a great ice climbing spot in the Carpathian mountains: the High Tatras range. Local IFMGA-certified guide Pavel will show you the ropes.
3 Days
Jan - Mar, Dec
The High Tatras lie on the border between Poland and Slovakia. Many of its peaks are over 2000 meters. The highest summit is Gerlachovský štít, at 2655 m. It is an ideal place for winter activities!
The flora and fauna in the Tatras mountains are protected by the Tatras National Park. The area also combines a wide variety of landscapes: peaks, deep glacier valleys, mountain lakes. You won’t believe your eyes!
During this 3-day program, you’ll learn basic ice climbing skills. Some prior rock climbing experience is definitely helpful. This course is available for first-time ice climbers as well as intermediate climbers.
– DAY 1: Meeting at the Zamkovského Mountain Inn. Presentation and informative talk. Night at the lodge.
– DAY 2: Firstly, we will start by practicing ice climbing basics such as stance, security and abseiling. Afterwards, and depending on weather conditions, we’ll move our practice to the ice!
– DAY 3: Finally, we’ll go for one last ice climb. You’ll get to enjoy everything the incredible Tatras offers.

Mountain Guide
IFMGA / UIAGM Mountain guide
I was born in 1969 in Ostrava. When I was a child, my parents and I spent most of our free time and weekends in our cottage in Beskydy in the countryside. I started skiing when I was very young, we went to Moravian and Slovak ski resorts. In 2010 I successfully passed my IFMGA exams and I became an official mountain guide. I’m also a photographer and a graphic designer. I’m guiding my friends and clients mainly in the Tatras Mountains. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discover this beautiful region, during the summer or the winter. We can go hiking, climbing, mountaineering, skiing...together.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
